    Yeah, I love prep football, I love warm weather and I love strong newspapers with great history. I figured hundreds of others out there would feel the same way.

    They probably do. The Post just isn't a particularly strong newspaper anymore, if such a creature even exists. I don't care how deep your history is, when you've laid off half your staff and pawned off much of your coverage, you're not a strong newspaper.

    Is the chosen one supposed to be able to get all these tasks done each week in 40 hours? Or is OT part of the plan? This seems like a lot to expect of a person each week. Then again, if they're paying OT, no prob.

    I doubt the Palm Beach Post is allowing overtime these days considering all the layoffs it's had and the financial situation it's in. You'll probably be rewarded with comp days.

    In short, you're going to get screwed.
